The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and eectivemeans for storing deposit slips or vouchers used in Christmas Clubsavings accounts, such means eliminating much bookkeeping andsimplifying bank operations, while maintaining a complete and veryvreadily accessible record and check upon each account.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective View of a filing cabinetembodying the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of the unit containers.

^ Figure 3 is a vertical side view thereof.

Figure 4 isa horizontal sectional view on the linee-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the blank from.

' The containers are of box-like form, and located in rows, so that theycan be turned from Y a rearwardly to a forwardly inclinedposition, aswill be evident. Each of the containers is preferably made of a sheet ofrelatively heavy paper, and comprises a rear wall 12, a front wall V18,a side wall 14, and a bottom 15. The side opposite the side wall 14: ispreferably open, as is also the top. The rear Wall extends well abovethe front wall, forming an identifying tab 16 which may be suitablynumbered as indicated at 17, and ruled as at 18 to receive the name andaddress of the depositor. vThe front wall 13 has the portion adjacent tothe open side cut away as shown at 19, this cut-away portion extendingto a point in proximity toI the bottom 15 and leaving a small upstandingretaining iange 20, At its upper corner it is further cut away as shownat 21.

The 1 depositorpasses' to 'the receivingztellerl ,the Y detached slip with the paymentmade. 'llhev receiving jteller has only to locate .theaparticularfcoiitainer andplacertherein the deposit slip* As these slipsaccumulate each therefore has the complete records of all deposits madeand which have been stamped. The depositor 'on the other hand retainsthe book and on the outer 'sheet or slip thereof is shown thereceiptstamp. Obviously the various y accounts can be quicklyascertained by reason of theupstandingtabs 16 and Vany one account canbeeasily determined because the outermost sheet has suiiicient of `thedata thereon exposed toshow the amount of the.

last payment. The open side and end of the 4container permits the readyinsertion of the slips and the front open portion not only exposes the`payments made, but it permits the upper right-hand corners to be turnedback so that each successive numbering 24 on the slips can be quicklydetermined.

rThe same apparatusy is usable for various types of accounts. Thus in vFigure 6 there is shown a modified form of leaf in which selectiveamounts 29 can be determined by punch- K ing at appropriately indicatedpoints 30 any one or more selected sums to be periodically paid. As willbe noted by reference to Figure 6 the cut-away portion 19 of thecontainer eX- poses not only' the various amounts but those selected bypunching as at 31. v

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation andmany advantages. of the herein described invention will be apf parent tothose skilled in the art without further description and it will beunderstood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion and minordetails of construction may be resorted to without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. n
